Whiteface Restarts Their Snow-Guns

After suspending snow-making due to warm temperatures, Whiteface has restarted the snow-guns. The forecast is calling more seasonable temperatures this weekend with nighttime lows in the 20s. State-run Whiteface and Gore, the only ski resorts in the Adirondack Park who have invested heavily in snow-making, are both struggling with a warm early season. There is no snow on the ground, no other ski areas in the region have opened for winter sports, and no substantial snow is in the long-term forecast. (Photo courtesy ORDA/Whiteface Lake Placid).
